Steel Angle Connection

SWA+

The SWA+ program is used to design pinned beam connections using angles in steel construction. The connection can be configured with or without a notch. The notch can be arranged either on one or both sides.

Material

The material can be chosen differently for the main beam, secondary beam and angle.

  • Structural steel (S235, S275, S355, S450)
  • Structural steel annealed (S275N – S460N)
  • Structural steel thermo (S275M – S460M)
  • Structural steel weatherproof (S235W – S355W)
  • Creep resistant steel (S460Q – S460QL1)
  • Hollow section warm (S235H – S355H)
  • Hollow section warm N (S275NH – S460NH)
  • Custom steel type
Structural System
  • Beam connection with angle with and without beam notch
  • Angle geometry and bolt patterns can be specified or taken from the connection configuration catalog
Cross-sections

Beam sections

  • I-sections as standard section
  • I-sections as custom
  • Flat steel as a standard profile
  • Flat steel custom

Angle

  • Equal-leg and unequal-leg angles as standard cross-section or as custom cross-section

 

Loading
  • Design internal forces from shear force Vzd
  • Multiple design internal force combinations can be entered
Fasteners

Different bolts can be selected for the main beam and the secondary beam.

  • Bolts (black bolts and fitted bolts)
  • Sizes: M12, M16, M20, M22, M24, M27, M30, M36
  • Strength classes: 4.6, 5.6, 8.8, 10.9

The program provides all the necessary verifications according to the selected design standard:

  • Verification of bolts in shear
  • Verification of bearing (main beam, secondary beam, angle)
  • Block tearing
  • Verfication of contact pressure
  • Verification of notch of the secondary beam
  • Cross-sectional verification angle

Thank you for your enquiry!

The merger of FRILO Software GmbH and DC-Software GmbH with ALLPLAN, completed and announced on 1 July, is leading to an increased volume of telephone and e-mail inquiries. In addition, necessary maintenance work in our CRM and ERP systems is causing temporary irregularities and delays in our operating processes. We, therefore, ask you to forgive us for the longer waiting times. We will endeavor to process your request as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.
